Mummy and Daddy --> SPM is not peanut.

Really, it's not.

Oh wait, look who's back?

Just in case you haven't realized, I'm back from THE National Service. And yes I went for NS three months ago, and the three months of training is over, (time flies yo) and I'm back in one piece, tanner and fitter HEH.

I'm writing a post about my NS experience, there are seriously TOO MUCH to write, and I'm not even halfway there yet. Oh well.

But anyway this post isn't for NS, it's for my SPM results. It's gonna be a short one la, as I'm not really in the mood of blogging, but I still feel like updating my blog 'cause i have been abandoning my blog for MONTHS so yea la. (you feel like slapping me? hahaha)

I guess most of you knew already, and yea I got straight A's. Serious. Straight A's.

I got straight A's!!! wooooo! *throw confetti * And I actually got 1A for 1119, really unexpected.

Though there are two A minuses but I shall appreciate what I got right? When teacher was announcing the 68 students who got straight A's I was praying so hard, SO HARD, EVEN HARDER THAN A ROCK, NO, A DIAMOND, that I will be one of the 68 smartypants.

And when teacher called out my name, I literally jumped to the front, my head almost reach the ceiling LOL.

And I even hugged my principal, even though she'd never taught me any subject before, but still, I hugged her. For no reason. HAHA.

My hamchoi moral nilai.

Before SPM exams, I was super super stressful, and one night, when I was telling my parents how many more things I have to study, how many more past year papers and exercises I need to do and I was asking them not to have too high expectations on me, I've even written my trial results (my trials results weren't really good) on a piece of paper for them, ('cause, you know, I'm not praising myself, but everyone, literally EVERYBODY from my entire family, including aunties and uncles and grandmothers, think that I'm the smartest kid among all kids, all nieces, all grandchildren, 'cause I always get good results in major exams, so everyone was like, AIYA you got no problem one la, sure can get straight A's one la, cover eyes also can get and BLA. You know the expectation they had on me, I mean, what if I REALLY can't get straight A's? They probably won't get disappointed, but I WILL. I felt like I was suffocating, I could hardly breathe. Serious. )

Then dunno why I couldn't control my emotions, the tears just burst out of my eye sockets, and I cried in front of them ( AND MY BROTHER OMG). So then, my mum and dad started to ask me not to worry, it's okay if I don't get straight A's and they even forced me to stop studying that night, stop doing anything, and they made me eat durian. HAHA.

This was how 'tidy' my table was.

Really wanna thank my parents la, they're always there to support me, even though I was so rebellious and disobedient. And I know for sure they prayed for me everyday. :D Thank God for them :)

And also my super "kiasu" and competitive friends, especially the mini-pabos and "jia rens", 'cause when you see them studying and getting good results, you'll get the oomph to study hard too. If I was placed in another class, with classmates who don't care about their results, and laze around the whole year, I don't think I'll be one of the 68 people.

And also other friends who weren't taking SPM, but still there to listen to my grandmother stories about how stressful I was, and encouraged me,  and sent me messages before SPM, some super looooong text and some super short, but no matter what, thank all of you :D

And thank God for sending them in my life :D God bless all of you!

I even shared testimony during prayer meeting last Friday. For the first time in my life. I WAS SHAKING LIKE A JELLY I TELL YOU. So scary. I thought those uncles and aunties who aren't close to me, or don't even know who I am won't remember me sharing testimony on the stage but HOLY MACARONI CHEESE, they remembered! One of the uncles were like, 'Oh, you were the straight A's one, congrats! So did your dad buy you a Ferrari?' (Seriously, a Ferrari? I won't have money for my tertiary education then. Maybe my dad has to sell away the house too. Serious. HAHA.)

But seriously, don't look so high up on me, 'cause many people got straight A's this year (it's probably because election's coming soon, you know their tricks, they are ALWAYS SO 'CREATIVE'), and you really have NO IDEA how stressful I was last year. 

And I'm not smart. I'm just... hardworking.

And this were just PART of the books I did. (actually I didn't finish them, no time la!)

But if you ask how I got straight A's, I would say all you need to do is STUDY HARD, PRAY HARD. Pray to Jesus. :)

And tuitions are useless, 'cause I didn't go for any tuition, except Chinese language, and that's REALLY an EXCEPTION, cause I'd only got three lessons ( 1 and a half hour) of Chinese language every week, and if there were activities or events going on, we don't even get Chinese lessons.

Oh and, drink chicken essence too! cause you really need it
